Thirty Days of HORROR!
Sometimes a teaser trailer can do so much more than a full trailer.
Granted, sometimes (often, during the 70s, 80s, and even a bit of the 90s) a teaser trailer had absolutely zero footage from the movie it was teasing- and sometimes this was pretty cool. We don't see it much anymore, though I remember the first teaser trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean just being some CGI ocean while Wojciech Kilar's theme from Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula played.
Unlike that one, this is a pretty good teaser.
The movie itself is mostly forgotten by fans of the franchise though Ken Foree and Viggo Mortenson both give strong perfs. It is impossible to improve on the Tobe Hooper original, though the 2nd film has some outrageously gory fun (and a terrific Bill Moseley performance).
I felt that the reboot had some potential (and it was really well shot), but Platinum Dunes squandered the living fuck out of it with the poorly conceived prequel.
But I love the way this clip teases the audience- "is this a King Arthur movie?" was the first thought that went through my head when I first saw is, years and years and years ago.
Last year, Day 2 was Twins of Evil! Not a euphemism, like Vegas Taco.
